Ep82 Is Toxic Positivity Stopping You from Losing Weight?
Manage episode 329466878 series 3008829
We’ve all heard the phrase, “just look on the bright side”. Whilst this phrase is often said with well-meaning intent, it can make us feel unheard and that our feelings aren’t valid. Dr Mary and Dr Lucy chat about this today. They explore the difference between toxic positivity and positive psychology. Using some of the tools that fall under the umbrella of positive psychology can be extremely health enhancing but denying our feeling by looking on the right side can be harmful. Denying and suppressing some of these more difficult emotions is associated with overeating and binge eating as we use food to “medicate” them
Learning to sit with and process your emotions is why we always say, “weight loss is more than a meal plan".
